Gruesome murder shocks Michelle Boshoff
T
HE two alledged murderers were caught and they apparently bought drinks for everyone in a shebeen after the murder with part of the R14 000 they stole. That was after killing Mrs Johanna Moore (78), fondly known as Jo. She owned a flower nursery and was a part time
florist in Dullstroom. The attackers burned her with a hot iron on her face and both arms. According to the SAPS she sustained serious head injuries. Reports were issued that the two men, 33 an 34 respectively were caught on Thursday evening and have since appeared in the Belfast Magistrate Court. Mrs Moore was a well-loved and respected part of the Dullstroom community. After her body was discovered a shocked friend phoned the Highlands Panorama News on Thursday. “I want
everyone to know what happened to Jo, it must be published around the world. These atrocities in South Africa are happening to defenseless people that would give their last piece of bread to a beggar. They came into her home and killed her. The so-called laws in SA can't protect us anymore,” said the caller that wished to remain anonymous. According to reports this is about the fifth murder of this caliber in 20 years.

Violence against women an attrocity DAWN Provincial Leader, cllr Sonja Boshoff writes: With the recent spate of murders on women, one in Lydenburg and one in Dullstroom, I feel obliged to put pen to paper and express my utter disdain towards these horrendous violent crimes against women. I would like to express my sincere condolences to the families of these women and trust that they will find solace in the presence of our Almighty God. While DAWN absolutely condemns these savage forms of crime, we acknowledge and appreciate the efforts displayed by SAPS in ensuring that the perpetrators of Ms Angel Thompson (Lydenburg) and Ms Jo Moore (Dullstroom)
have been apprehended. Violence against women and girls is one of the most systematic and widespread human rights violations and affects all societies and is a major obstacle to ending gender inequality and discrimination globally. The lack of state accountability in comprehensively addressing violence against women and girls is a significant obstacle to ending the problem. Generalized acceptance of violence against the “soft targets” of this country, lack of political will, inadequate legal protection and enforcement, insufficient resource allocation and / or poor implementation of national commitments, contribute to pervasive impunity. DAWN would like to see a more positive approach with the implementation of solutions by government to put an end to this savagery.

Nearly R500 000 spent on safety for the Thaba Chweu offices Michelle Boshoff
Residents may have noticed the new palisades and security equipment at the Thaba Chweu Council Lydenburg offices. This upgrade cost close to R500 000. This upgrade came under discussion at the Lydenburg / Mashishing Business Chamber meeting last week. Mr Farhad Essack, DA councillor, said that he argued for hours to tell TCM that it will only leave a bad impression to rate payers to spend so much money on the palisades and security equipment. The palisades reportedly cost R390 000 and the security doors and cameras cost
about R180 000. About two weeks ago TCM advertised 10 positions in total for electricians and plumbers. Mr Essack argued that it would be better to buy new vehicles for these new employees to continue their duties. The upgrade to security was ordered by the Ehlanzeni District Municipality. “The new upgrades are essential for TCM and the security of the personnel and the building,”said Mr Themba Sibiya, recently appointed media spokesperson of TCM. He confirmed that the provincial government gave instructions for the upgrade.

Dankie Lydenburg Gemeenskap Mnr. Johan Loots, skoolhoof Hoërskool Lydenburg: Hoërskool Lydenburg wil graag die Lydenburggemeenskap bedank vir hulle volgehoue ondersteuning. Al gaan dit soms moeilik, is dit die positiewe ondersteuning van alle rolspelers nl. personeel, ouers, leerders, vriende en die sakegemeenskap wat 'n suksesverhaal van 'n skool maak. 'n Sprekende voorbeeld hiervan was die atletiekseisoen waar massas atlete en ondersteuners by die Interhuis, vriendskaplike byeenkomste en by die Interhoër hulle staal gewys het. Die gees van ouers, atlete en toeskouers was aansteeklik. 'n Ander voorbeeld is die meer as 60 senior rugbyspelers wat vir die rugbyproewe opgedaag het. Dankie ouers en personeel. Julle verdien 'n goeie skool. The establishment of the Samancor Chrome Trade School Programme through the Phuphuka Training and Development Centre at Lydenburg High School, is a positive development at our school. Not only do both centres benefit, but staff are also trained and developed. For our learners this means that the electrical, fitting and boilermaking disciplines are developed in this process. Thank you Samancor. Lydenburg High School appreciates your contribution to our school. Hoërskool Lydenburg het ook met die Lydenburg Ringbalklub en die Krieketklub ooreengekom dat hulle die terrein met voorwaardes kan gebruik. Dankie aan beide die sportklubs vir die voorgestelde verbetering van ons fasiliteite. Goeie samewerking met die Lydenburggemeenskap is 'n baie belangrike doelwit van Hoërskool Lydenburg vir die toekoms. Baie sterkte aan die Lydenburg- gemeenskap met die res van 2012.

andag gooi ek 'n stuiwer in die armbeurs. Die stuiwer is 'n gedagte, soos gewoonlik, en die armbeurs 'n poel. Op Hoorhiersô is dié poel 'n swymeling van swak diens en ontevredenheid wat mense kry as hulle hul beursies oopmaak. Die hoof klagte is groente en brood wat na hul vervaldatum nog steeds op rakke te koop aangebied word. 'n Haastige aankoper let nie altyd na die kan-al-vrotwees datum nie, en sit dit in die waentjie. Soos ek Maandag moes agterkom toe ek so 19:00 iets te ete wou aanmekaar slaan. Roerbraaigroente wat “pong” toe ek dit oopmaak. Die gril-kriewels loop nou nog langs my ruggraat af met die gedagte. Wie ook al nou voor my staan sal dink ek gaan deur 'n baie erge maagpyn. Want daar staan siek op my gesig geskryf. Natuurlik is my eetlus, wat 'n goeie ding is, by die deur uit saam met alles wat ek die dag ingeneem het. Maanskyn en rose is so 'n groentevrotsel nie. 'n Geregverdige kwaad steek sy kop uit. Want nou is ek siek en my ete is daarmee heen. Dinsdag kry ek 'n 'refund'. Tog sal die ervaring my bybly en ironies genoeg is dit nie die eerste keer dat dit my by hierdie spesifieke kettingwinkel oorkom nie. Swak diens loop sinoniem met geld uitgee en inkopies. En glad nie parallel met 'n gelukkige kliënt nie. Ek twyfel of iemand iets nuuts tot die onderwerp kan bydra. Myns insiens is dit wel relevant omdat die onderwerp daagliks aangeroer word. As tannies en manne bymekaar kom vertel hulle vinnig van 'n besigheid wat hulle te na gekom het. Ek hoop hierdie ‘stuiwer in die armbeurs’ bereik die regte ore. Moenie dink omdat ons in ’n klein dorpie bly ons vrot kos moet koop nie. Ek ry Nelspruit toe en terug voordat jy kan mes sê.

Ou waardes TOE ek jonk en ’n tiener was, was ek nie baie beïndruk met my pa en ma se kennis nie. Hulle was eenvoudige mense en kon my nie veel leer van tegnologie, rock musiek en sulke belangrike dinge nie. My pa het my in die aand op die gras langs hom laat lê en vir my die sterre gewys. Hy het verduidelik van die Melkweg en die Drie Susters en die Suiderkruis. Hy het my geleer van bome en wilde diere en hulle gewoontes en sulke dinge. My ma het my my geleer om oom en tannie te sê, en asseblief en dankie. Om as iemand ouer as ek was en ons kom gelyktydig by ’n ry of ’n deur, altyd die ouer mens eerste te laat ingaan. My pa was lief vir rugby, maar hy het nie met my geraas
“Laat rus saak oor my en Eugene Terre’Blanche” Ilse Venter van Lydenburg skryf: Ek het gedink die stof sal gaan lê na die artikel oor my en Eugene Terre'Blanche in Rapport, maar dit het nie. Dankie oor die inset in "Outoppie", want dit is tog so waar. Ek het besluit om die feite agter die goedkoop sensasie bloot te stel, want dit lyk nie vir my of Lydenburg se mense gaan ophou om my te kruisig nie. Niemand het moeite gedoen om te probeer uitvind hoekom ek so ’n stupid ding sou doen nie so kom ek vertel julle. 'n Artikel oor Eugene se plaas en 'n familietwis tussen sy broer se skoonseun en Martie Terre'Blanche, sy vrou, het in Rapport van 5 Februarie verskyn. Al die antwoorde rondom die twis en familiegeskiedenis verskyn in Eugene se autobiografie en nadat ek met sy vrou beraadslaag het, het ek besluit om kommentaar te lewer daaroor. Dus het Rapport verkeerdelik berig dat ek hulle genader het oor die inhoud van die gepubliseerde voorbladstorie. Ek het hulle genader om die eer van sy vrou en dogter te probeer beskerm. Dankie vir die mense en vriende van Lydenburg wat my wel ondersteun, so ook Martie Terre'Blanche en die nuwe leier van die AWB, Steyn van Ronge. Ek hoop hierdie sakie kan nou gaan rus.

Me. Joy Goss van Lydenburg het op 11 Februarie haar tagtigste verjaardag gevier. Haar familie het gesê: “Ons dank die Hemelse Vader vir soveel goeie gespaarde jare en al die seëninge in haar lewe. Sy is vir ons ’n toonbeeld van Spreuke se deugsame vrou. Sy is ’n goeie vrou vir haar man, sorgsame ma vir haar kinders, ’n liefdevolle ouma vir haar kleinkinders en ’n wonderlike vriendin.” Regs: Me.

oor ek nie rugby gespeel het nie. Wat daardie twee ou mense my geleer het, was ou-skool goete. Hulle was op hulle beurt nie beïndruk met my musiek nie. Hulle het gedink Pink Floyd is duiwels. Wat hulle my egter geleer het en wat ek eers later besef het, was waardes. Etiek. Moreel. Goeie maniere. Etiket. Daardie dinge wat van jou ’n ordentlike mens maak. Vandag is dit anders. Basiese goeie maniere en ou waardes word nie meer deur ouers aan hulle kinders geleer nie. Enigiets wat gratis is, word afgemaak as waardeloos. Ouers koop hulle kinders se opvoeding. Die duurste kleuterskole, skole, wiskunde klasse, ballet klasse en elke ding wat ’n fortuin kos. Dit het glo waarde. Omdat ouers daarvoor ten duurste betaal, verwag hulle dat onderwysers en dosente hulle kinders moet opvoed. En die leerkurrikula sluit nie meer dinge soos Godsdiens en liggaamlike opvoeding in nie, want dit is nie polities korrek nie. Daar is geen plek in leerplanne om kinders
ou waardes te leer nie. Daar is nie dissipline nie. Kinders is die middelpunt van belangstelling en die senter van die gesprek wanneer ouers sosiaal bymekaar kom. Dit was nie so in my tyd nie. Ek is uit die geselskap geboender. En as ek nie die oom of die tannie beleefd gegroet het nie, het my gat gebrand. My pa en ma is nie skool toe ontbied om my probleme te bespreek nie. Die onderwysers en die hoof het my gevoeter en klaar. As ek by die huis nie kon sit of my mond kon hou nie en die oukêrel kom agter ek het iets verkeerd gedoen by die skool, het hy nie die onderwyser verkla nie. Hy het summier ook die lat ingelê, net ingeval ek gou vergeet. En die kinders is vandag daar vir almal om te sien: Oorwegend ongemanierde, slordige, ongedissiplineerde, verwaande en arrogante skepseltjies wat dink geld kan alles koop. En dan wonder pa en ma wat het verkeerd gegaan. En jy kan dit nie regmaak as hulle eers tieners en ouer is nie. Dié boompie moes kleintyd al reg gebuig gewees het. Ou waardes.

Teater-lekkerte in Lydenburg
Rooikaart, geskryf deur Dana Snyman, soos net hy kan, is die storie van Wally Koekemoer. Wally, die president van 'n plattelandse rugbyklub, moet die klub se prysuitdeling op die jaarlikse dinee behartig. Maar dinge lol – bywoning is swak en die pryswenners het nie opgedaag nie. Met sy gunsteling dop as onderskraging, gaan Wally voort met die seremonie. Soos wat sy tong losser raak, word die sluier sonder seremonie gelig oor wat agter die skerms by die klub aan die gang is. Die geraamtes in Wally Koekemoer se eie kas verskyn ook een vir een. Dit wat volg, is skreeusnaaks. Wally herinner 'n mens aan iemand wat jy al iewers in jou lewe teëgekom het en raak dinge kwyt wat al te bekend klink.

ASSMANG CHROME DWARSRIVIER MINE
ASSORE
Dwarsrivier is an Assmang operation that is managed by African Rainbow Minerals and Assore. The organisation is part of the bigger group: ARM Platinum, ARM Ferrous, ARM Coal, ARM exploration, ARM Harmony. Does the mine have social programmes to assist communities? Yes. The communities that should receive first priority have been identified. During the latter part of 2012, the mine c o n d u c t e d a stakeholder analysis in order to understand who it should engage with and why. The process involved s c a n n i n g t h e authorities. The outcome of that was the identification of the six municipal wards within Greater Tu b a t s e a n d t h e t r a d i t i o n a l communities within the same space.
The Management Team from Dwarsrivier Mine are (from left, back): Silas Hlapolosa (Technical), Francois Uys (Senior General Manager), Trinity Mthinyana (SD), Jaque Steyn (Metallurgy), Corrie Kempenaars (Engineering); (front): Rian Burger (Finance), Marius Kruger (MD) and Jeffrey Mchavi (Health and Safety).

ASSMANG CHROME DWARSRIVIER MINE
Stakeholder engagement is an ongoing activity on the ASSORE mine. The mine has spent many hours attending to people, local government structures are engaged on request from either parties or the Sector Department Donations also have the attention of the mine on many levels. Job Creation through enterprise development John Nkadimeng Gold Day: R10 000 Itirileng Football Club: R10 240

“As senior General Manager of this Mine, it is important that I share with members of a broader society what is happening on the mine and how the mine plans to respond to social challenges. I am particularly proud of the new enterprise opportunities that we have unlocked over the past 18 months for our local communities. The holding of hands between local government and other sector departments can only make the future brighter. The appointment of the Projects Manager for key focus areas (water, roads, electrification and human resources development) will unlock development potential in this region. This is a result of us working and engaging even when the chips are down.” - Francois A. Uys, Senior General Manager.
Dwarsrivier is unable to provide job opportunities to all. Local enterprise development is a critical strategy of bringing SMME’s into the mainstream business. This is a poverty relief strategy that increases the breadbasket within the local mine communities. Once again, local communities receive reference in this area as well. Over the past year to date, a number of opportunities have been created to enhance this ideal. These opportunities have been created to assist local job creation: • Car wash • Underground road infrastructure • Waste rock crushing project • Surface infrastructure • Employee transportation.
We are committed to Infrastructure Development and primary issues the communities are concerned with: Access to clean drinking water • Access road • Electricity.

Spoedhobbels ’n groot kopseer ~ Onderstelle van motors word geskraap Michelle Boshoff Geen spoedhobbel in Lydenburg se strate is behoorlik gemerk nie. Dit veroorsaak groot ongerief vir motoriste. Dié ongerief sal minder kommerwekkend wees as daar ook minder skade aan voertuie is. Verlede week het ’n motorfietsryer in Morganstraat, Lydenburg, geval en skade is aangerig nadat hy hard met die spoedhobbel kennis gemaak het. Die spoedhobbels of spoedwalle veroorsaak groot konsternasie en skade aan voertuie, veral aangesien party walle nie gemerk is nie en daar ook geen waarskuwingsborde is wat motoriste waarsku nie. Die Highlands Panorama Nuus het die afgelope twee weke talle oproepe en klagtes ontvang en ook nadere ondersoek gedoen oor die spoedhobbels in die dorp. Baie motoriste weet nie van die spoedhobbels nie en die hobbels is in die middel lelik deurgestamp, natuurlik ten koste van die motoriste. Dit is ’n klinkklare bewys daarvan. Die volgende brief is ingegee deur ’n
anonieme skrywer: Stel jou voor, daar word gereeld by jou ingebreek jy stel ’n haelgeweer, die booswig word geskiet. Groot probleme volg, ’n klag van mansslag, poging tot moor of moord! Die stadsraad stel vir onskuldige motoriste haelgewere in die vorm van spoedhobbels. Toestelle wat duur voertuie beskadig, selfs al ry jy ver onder die spoedgrens van 60km/h. Dit stel ook die insittendes van die voertuig in gevaar, veral as jy beheer oor jou voertuig sou verloor en / of voor aankomende verkeer geslinger word. Hierdie hobbels word oral opgerig sonder dat waarskuwende kegels / tekens aangebring word terwyl die pad heeltemal versper word. Iemand dink klaarblyklik dat hy / sy bo die wet is of onaantasbaar is. Die spoedhobbels is in Mbombela verwyder. Ek hoop dat die stadsraad ’n goeie advokaat ken en dat hulle ’n ekstra dik tjekboek het, want ek kry die gevoel dat hulle dit gouer nodig gaan kry as wat jy dink. Bestee eerder die geld en tyd om die paaie wat so vrot is te herstel.

esmond McManus, General Manager of Tubatse Chrome, places a lot of value in keeping people informed on the direction the Company is embarking on. From 20-22 February a Road Show was held at Tubatse Chrome with an attempt to reach every single employee. The Tubatse Chrome mascot, Zhazi (Zero Harm and Zero Injuries) was introduced. Desmond explained to

employees that 2012 would be a challenging year, especially due to economic circumstances. He emphasized the importance of Zero Harm as a value to the company, which is one of the reasons that Zhazi has been introduced. He forms part of a continued effort to create a mindset of safety in the business. Furthermore Desmond encouraged employees to "come to work with a sense of purpose and to leave with a sense of achievement and pride" (which is the vision of Tubatse Chrome). Desmond reinforced that Tubatse Chrome does not just produce ferrochrome for the sake of production, but also to make a difference in people's lives by contributing to the manufacturing of clean, safe and strong stainless steel. After providing feedback on the Company results for 2011 and sharing strategic focus areas for 2012, the event was closed off with an industrial theatre on HIV/AIDS (following the AIDS testing that was done the previous week). Employees who participated in the AIDS testing were entered into a lucky draw, and six lucky winners were announced at the road show. HR Manager, Andries Nieuwoudt, remarked that “the Company was extremely happy with the interest of employees to get tested. A healthy workforce is a key to the productivity of our business. “We will continue to go out of our way to support our employees to live a healthy and safe lifestyle”.

Ds. Willie Botha, Messrs. Bonga Buthelezi, Penrith Knightbridge Investments, Eric Cilliers (Watervalsrivier Valley, between Burgersfort and Lydenburg) and Carl Lourens from Burgersfort at the Lydenburg/ Mashishing Business Chamber Meeting.
IN LIEU of taking the problems the community and businesses have into consideration, the Lydenburg / Mashishing Business Chamber convened last week to discuss issues that this area needs to put on the table. Residents and business owners of the Greater Tubatse District joined the chamber meeting, they will be joining the Lydenburg / Mashishing Business Chamber in the near future. On the agenda was finalising the Dairy, to prevent the double booking of events. A meeting will take place at the NG Suid at 11:00 on Tuesday 6 March to discuss this. The Chamber’s webpage is under construction and will be available soon. The Potgieter / Voortrekker Street Cnr in Lydenburg is under construction and Mr Mohammed Cassim, Chamber Chairman was full of praise for the efforts that have been made to fix the roads in Lydenburg. The Chamber and the Thaba Chweu Municipality are working on this together. Another big project is the R36 between Lydenburg and Burgersfort. This road will be under construction for several months. People commuting between the towns every day should be aware that this may influence their time travelling to work and back. The Disaster Management Plan of the town is subject to change. Ds. Willie Botha gave a comprehensive presentation on research and all the points that need to be considered with a plan for disaster management. Worthwhile comment and advice was given by Mr Arthur W. Baker from Penrith Knightbridge, to set up the best disaster plan possible.

isaster Management includes the actions whereby the community safety or volunteer involvement function through planning and co-ordinated actions, involvement of neighbours and to organise the community during a threat. During the Lydenburg/ Mashishing Business Chamber meeting last week ds. Willie Botha gave a presentation about disaster management, it was a follow up after a meeting of stake holders earlier this year after the floods. The Chamber and Thaba Chweu Municipality together with volunteers are in the process of completing a more detailed plan which will be addressed in the media. ~ Michelle Boshoff

OVER 450 Rhino have been poached in South Africa since the start of 2011 ….. we want to end this now. Palala Rhino Sanctuary has been registered as a Section 21(non-profit) organization, which has as its main purpose the establishment of a Rhino Sanctuary for Rhino's under threat of extinction. Private land in the Waterberg has been made available for this project. The locality thereof provides a safe haven for rhino to survive and breed. We are a private group that represent the plight of rhino owners and we are in the process of establishing an Anti Poaching Unit to combat the illegal poaching of our Black and White Rhino. Our initial aim is to concentrate on the Greater Waterberg Area. This will logically impact on general security, farm attacks and illegal invasion. We would require your help to assist us in securing the species for our future generations. We need funding to be able to keep operating on the ground fighting this ongoing massacre of our rhino. These funds will go for the rangers' daily needs such as food, air time, fuel for the vehicle and any other equipment needed to be able to operate. We need radios and vehicles as urgent measures. Operational costs for running such a unit are very high and extra staff will also need to be deployed in future. This project can only survive with the support of dedicated Corporate Entities. We urge you to assist in the form of fundraisers towards our cause and if need be we will do presentations and meet with Directors of the Board to explain our plight and plans already put in place. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you require additional information on our Projects at the Sanctuary or require contact detail of our Directors. Donations can be made on www.givengain.com . We are listed under Palala Anti Poaching Project.

IE Lydenburg CVO Skool is ’n skool wat deur die gemeenskap vir die gemeenskap gebou is in 1995. Op Saterdag 25 Februarie het die skool die inwyding van die nuwe klaskamers gevier en ook reunie en boeresport gehou. Die afgelope naweek was ook die herdenking van die Slag van Majuba. ’n Slag wat in die geskiedenisannale as ’n oorwinning deur die Boere in die Eerste Vryheidsoorlog aangeteken is. Die huldeblyk is deur mnr. Frans Fuls aangebied en hy het ook die geskiedenis van die Slag vervat. Die Lydenburg CVO Skool het weereens vir Sterkspruit Projekte en Sterkspruit Plaveisel
bedank vir hul hulp en harde werk met die bouprojek. Al die stigterslede, onderwysers en ouers dra ook by tot die skool se sukses. Die CVO skool het in Januarie 1995 begin in die AP Kerk se saal. Na 'n paar maande is die skool geskuif na mnr. Krugel se plaas, ± 5 km op die Dullstroom-pad. Die eerste kinders het in 1997 matriek geskryf. In Augustus 1999 het die skool getrek na waar hul tans is. Die kinders moes elkeen 'n skoolwapen teken en Nicola van der Wal se wapen is gekies as skoolwapen. Maryna de Lange het die skoollied geskryf. Gerrit de Kock het die geboue gereël en Martin Mulder het die gronde geskenk waarop die skool vandag staan. Langsaan die skool bedryf Amanda van Heerden ook Babbelkousies Kleuterskool.
Die nag van 26 Februarie 1881 het ‘n Britse mag van ongeveer 400 man onder Generaal Colley die berg Majuba van die suidekant af beset. Om 21h30 het hulle weswaarts uit Mount Prospect beweeg tot by die Imkwelaberg en toe weer noordwaarts bokant O’Neill se plaashuis verby. Om 03h30 Sondagmôre 27 Februarie 1881 het die eerste soldate die kruin bereik. Weens die steilte en die nag, was die bestyging van die berg uiters moeilik. Hulle was afdelings van die 58ste, 60ste en 92ste (Skotse) regimente en ’n afdeling seesoldate onder aanvoering van Kommandeur Francis Romilly, tweede in bevel van die mag. Hy het op die suidwestelike kruin gesneuwel. Die reserwe Britse soldate is agter ‘n lang randjie wat van wes na oos loop geplaas. Hulle was egter magteloos teen die moordende vuur van die Boere wat van drie kante af gekom het - Roos en sy manne vanuit die noorde, Ferreira en sy manne vanuit die weste en Malan en sy manne vanuit die ooste. Die Britte het suidwaarts oor die kruin gevlug. Hulle verliese was groot: Van die 400 het net 120 ongeskonde oorgebly. Van die 280 ongevalle was 92 dood, 135 gewond en 53 is gevange geneem. Die 120 Skotte het die swaarste gely - slegs 24 kon van die Boere se koeëls ontsnap. Nadat die Britse garnisoene aan die suidekant van Majuba verjaag is, het ’n digte mis en reën toegesak Die skoolvlag is Saterdag gehys om die verrigtinge (’n faktor wat verhoed het dat die by die CVO Skool te open.

There are so many people in this beautiful town of ours, who help those less fortunate. People, who give monthly donations to a specific project or cause, people who every year give a lump sum with their bonuses. These people all contribute to making this the town of caring that we all find it to be. At Entheos we wanted to share a little cheer with those people who don't just give once a month or once a year, those people who are always giving, always on call. Who take helping others as a calling, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The Grade 4 to 7 Class decided to take a trip to the CMR and the Dienssentrum and share a moment in time with them, showing them that their time, care and sacrifice is appreciated. May God Bless you for the many hours of work and extra effort that you put into the people who need you.

New Honda crossover a nice bike THE HONDA NC700X crossover offers the long-travel suspension, agility and commanding riding position of an off-road bike, but Honda says its new crossover provides a fun, engaging riding experience coupled with practicality for daily commuting, too.
Powering the NC700X is a liquid-cooled, in-line two-cylinder 670cc engine producing 38.1kW at 6250rpm and 60Nm at 4750rpm and has a claimed fuel consumption of 3.5l/100km (14.1 fuel tank). The engine is mated to a six-speed manual transmission. During the development, Honda’s research showed that 90% of riding involved speeds of 140km/h or less and engine speeds of 6000rpm or less. As a result the powerplant of the NC700X is ideally suited to this kind of usage, with strong torque characteristics across the rev range typically used. Ideally suited to commuting in the city, the bike also inspires an adventurous spirit at the weekend. A long tour, a leisurely ride into the countryside or a trip into the city with a passenger to meet friends – the NC700X is ready for anything. The NC700X features a protective windscreen to provide comfort even at speed. The new model has a relaxed and comfortable upright riding position with a high viewpoint for enhanced hazard perception. Another advantage of this riding position is low-speed control. Combined with the machine’s low centre of gravity and generous steering lock, the result is exceptional low-speed handling and agility. The NC700X features an internal storage space large enough to accommodate a full-face helmet. Together with the fuel filler cap, this space is accessed using a key to unlock and flip-up the seat. The suspension (153.5mm at the front and 150mm at the rear) on the NC700X is set to ensure a smooth ride. Price: NC700X - R64 999 (Only non ABS units available in South Africa) Service intervals are every 12 000km. The model will be launched in a choice of colours including Digital Silver Metallic, Pearl Sunbeam White and Magna Red. Wheels24.co.za

Speed triple HIGH-POWERED motorcycles, say those bigger than 650cc, usually come out of the factory with beautifully sculptured, streamlined fairings painted with bold colours to complement the black or silver framework and gleaming metal engine covers - brand clearly emblazoned. The owner would wash and polish the bike once a week before taking it for a breakfast run with his mates on similar machinery. He would then get home about lunchtime, leaving the bike parked on his driveway for all his neighbours to see. Then the unthinkable would happen: the bike would roll forward on the side stand (most machines don’t have centre stands anymore, but that’s another story) and the bike would crash down on its side, scratched to blazes and totally destroyed – or so you would have thought once the insurance man had inspected the bike and declared: “That’s about R30 000 to replace the fairing. I’ll check the value of the bike seeing it’s now a couple of years old and consider writing-off the machine.” That scenario actually happened to a friend of mine a while back. The bike brand I won’t mention to prevent embarrassment – OK, OK, it was a green one! The outcome was the irate owner refused to have the expensive panels repaired, opting instead to toss them into a corner of his garage forever, and from that moment on riding the bike “naked” – no not him – the bike! Seriously, I firmly believe that’s one of the reasons motorcycle manufacturers of late are producing bikes that offer such straight-line power and not having to pay so much attention to the streamlining side of the business. That and the fact that fairings cost a small fortune to produce and bolt together – as alluded to above. Triumph Motorcycles has such a beast once again in their 2012 line-up - and it goes by the name Speed Triple – and it’s actually rather good. From the front it looks low, mean and in your face. Factor in a three-cylinder, 1050cc, DOHC, fuel-injected motor and you have all the makings of a street-fighter – with or without the bike. Since hitting the streets back in 1994 this model has proved something of a legend for the brand. Deciding to use a similar bike for a Sunday morning bike run recently to get some breakfast in the Boland, I elected to ride “up” on the motorway and “back” on the quieter roads. An interesting decision, as it happened. A pair of traffic cops decided to stop me en route... and I wasn’t sure why. They didn’t ask for my driving licence, they didn’t even check the licence disc – they seemed more interested in the rear number plate and the height of the digits printed on it. “How old is this bike?” one of them asked. Informing him it was the latest model to come out of the Triumph factory in the UK, they seemed puzzled by the unfinished looks of the bike. How much does it cost?” was the next question – and I had been expecting that one. "R90 995... not a lot of money if you say it quickly,” I quipped. A moment later an overloaded taxi squeezed dangerously close to the bike though it was parked well inside the yellow line. A dodgy position to be in, don’t you think? Did the traffic cops give chase to the taxi? Nah, not a bit of it... along came more motorcycle riders, only to be pulled over and likewise interrogated, as I found out later. Meanwhile, I was free to proceed. After about five minutes, I caught up with the errant taxi that was once again snaking its way through the traffic while breaking just about every rule in the book. A quick head-count as I went past revealed 19 passengers, the driver making it a nice round 20. Zero tolerance on our roads, Mr Carlisle? What a joke! More like the powers that be once again taking the easy way out. • Triumph’s latest Speed Triple is available from dealers in many towns and cities. The taxi problem, unfortunately, is to be found everywhere – 24/7. Dave Fall - Wheels24.co.za

Good looking Evoque a winner THE upcoming Geneva Motor Show looks set to be quite an event, judging by all the big new introductions already confirmed. However, the latest vehicle that has "leaked", the Range Rover Evoque Convertible, comes as perhaps the biggest surprise. Though described as a "concept", we believe this vehicle to be a near certainty for production, soon. It is decribed as the world's first premium convertible SUV - though Nissan may argue that point, seeing as its drop-top Murano reached the market last year - and is based on the three-door Evoque. No more details are available, but just look at it... certainly appears to be ready for showrooms! Carmag.co.za

New Golf Cabrio a stunner
seconds – for those who care, nine seconds to fold, 11 to lift – and you can do it at up to 30km/h. Less if the Cape South-Easter is howling into your face.
Four versions of the Golf convertible have just been launched in South Africa – each with a 1.4-litre, four-cylinder engine but tuned to either 90kW (Comfortline) or 116kW (Highline) and with either a six-speed manual or seven-speed DSG auto/manual sequential gearbox.
handle even better than the hatched versions. VW claims its cabrio is the quietest in its class – I’d say its one of the quietest in any class.
At first glance (apart from the missing roof, of course) the cabrio looks just like a normal Golf. A closer inspection says otherwise: VW has succeeded in giving the car a subtly sportier image than the hatch. The main difference is the more sweptback windscreen, a visual trick many other convertibles play though the real reason is not so much the looks but the aerodynamics, which sweep the airflow over the front passengers’ heads – madame doesn’t like having her bouffant buffeted or sir his top-piece.
external mirrors, audio with MP3 and eight speakers, height-adjustable front seats, foot wells lights, auto wipers and a three-spoked leather steering wheel with multifunction steering controls, driver and front passenger airbags (driver knee airbag), automatic roll-over protection, ESP including Hill-hold Assist and daytime running lights.
I drove both engine versions over a route of about 220km outside Cape Town, including some it the area’s wondrous passes, mostly with the top down. The cars YOU can pay more than a million bucks for a sporty top-end convertible - or were solid on the road; VW has done serious homework to erase body vibration around R300 000 for a VW Golf Cabriolet.
